Didn’t we have a lovely time...!

The Great British Take Off, held on Saturday 16th May, immediately established itself as an instant classic and one that will surely become an annual event.

We ran a number of online sessions and were pleased to welcome hundreds of people who between them attended a naked fitness class, a naked yoga session and our special event, ‘Pimms On the Lawn’.

Many of the attendees were brand new to British Naturism membership and in some cases, new to Naturism too. Some were inspired to join us having heard about the event from the huge media attention that we reported last week. Since the beginning of lockdown we've seen over a 150% increase in the number of new members in 2020. A warm welcome if you are one of them!

Many people happily embraced the charitable angle to the event and found it made it easier to tell friends and family. Fees paid to BN by attendees to the online events will be added to the donations and so at the time of writing we have raised over £3000 for the British Heart Foundation and the figure keeps rising. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Thanks also to everyone who sent their pictures in showing how they were celebrating The Great British Take Off. It's not to late to submit yours - take one today if you can!
